Seriously fella. If you've just started shaving, you can do yourself a real favour, save a load of time, discomfort and money (OK, the last one is debatable) by getting a mild DE razor (Muhle R89) a non-aggressive blade like a Personna and just getting stuck in.
More detailed advice will undoubtedly follow.
I'm afraid of cutting myself.
A light touch and you will avoid cutting yourself. Plenty of videos on Youtube from Mantic59 on correct shaving techniques with the DE. That was not available when I started shaving. You will not regret using the DE.I'm afraid of cutting myself.
